RESURREXI.

From the throne Of life eternal,
From the home Of love supernal,
Where the angel feet make music over all
the starry floor,
Mortals have come to meet you
Come with words Of love to greet you
And to tell you Of the glory that is mine for
evermore.
Once before found q mortal
Waiting at the heavenly portal
Waiting but to catch some echo from that
ever.opening door;
Then seized his quickened being
And through all his inward seeing
Caused my burning inspiration in fiery food
to pour.
Now come more meekly human
And the weak lips Of woman
Touch with IRE from of The alter. not with
burnings as Of yore.
But in holy love descending,
With her chastened being blending,
would fill your souls with music from the
bright celestial shore.
As one heart yearnx for another,
As the child turns to its mother
From the golden gates Of glory turn to the
earth once more;
Where my soul was stung to madness,
Where my heart was filled with sadness
And life's bitter burning pillows swept my
burdened being DER;
Where the harpies and the ravens,
Human vampires, sordid cravens,
Preyed upon my soul and substance till
writhed in anguish sore.
Life and then seemed mismated
For felt accursed and fated
Like restless wrathful spirit wandering on
the Sygian shore!
Tortured by nameless yearning,
Like frost-hre, freezing, burning,
Did the purple pulsing life-tde in its fever
ish channels pour
Till the golden bowl, life's token,
Into shrining shreds was broken,
And my chained and chahng spirit leaped
from out its prison door
But while living, striving, dying,
Never did my soul cease crying,
aye who guide the fates and furiesl Give! Oh,
give me, implore,-
From the myriad hosts Of nations
From the countless consultations
One pure spirit that can love me,-one that l.
too, can adore!"
Through this fervent inspiration
Found my fainting soul salvation;
For, from out its blackened fire-cypts did m,
quickened spirit soar;
When my beautiful ideal,
Not too lovely to be real,
Burst more brightly on my vision than tn,
fancy formed IGNORE!
: Mid the surging seas she found me
With the pillows breaking round me
And my sad and sinking spirit in her arms o
;. love upbore,
Like a lone one weak and weary,
V Wandering at the midnight dreary,
: On her sinless sanity bosom brought me I
the heavenly shore
a Like the breath Of blossoms blending,
Like the prayers Of saints ascending,
e Like the rainbow's seven-hued glory, blen
, our souls forevermore;
Earthly love and lust enslsved me
{ But divinest love hath saved me
"a And know ney. FIST and erly how to Low
and to adorel
OH my mortal friends and hrothers!
lr We are all and each another'si
And the soul that giver most freely Of its trea
ures hath the neys!
Dr. Would you lose your life you fad It,
And in giviEg ieve you 5iza il,
